In today’s era, the first thing most people do as soon as they wake up in the morning is to use their mobile. Many times, they spend one or two hours using the mobile. But according to Dr. Shubhkarman Singh Saini, MD psychiatrist and de-addiction specialist, this can prove to be harmful for the body and health.
Experts say that many people have developed nomophobia. Nomophobia, that is, the fear of being away from the mobile phone, has become a common problem. After waking up, the first thought of many people is to check mobile notifications, scroll social media or read the news. In such a situation, this routine can harm the body.
The blue light emitted from smartphones can disrupt the production of melatonin, which controls sleep. Looking at your phone as soon as you wake up in the morning can affect your circadian rhythm. This can lead to fatigue throughout the day and problems with sleep at night.
Stress and anxiety
Checking notifications early in the morning can increase stress and anxiety levels. Emails, social media updates or news alerts are often stressful messages, making your day feel anxious. This stress can increase cortisol levels which negatively impact your mood and physical health.
Decreased attention
Checking your phone early in the morning can lead to a lack of focus. This can make you miss out on mindful activities like meditation, exercise, or a nutritious breakfast.
Morning Routine
A healthy morning routine is essential for a good day. Instead of using your phone, you can start your morning with yoga, journaling, or a cup of coffee. These can boost your mental and physical health.
Comparison and low self-esteem
Scrolling through social media as soon as you wake up in the morning can take your self-esteem in a negative direction. This habit forces you to compare yourself to other people, which can ruin your day.
